For the non-clickers: It's Webkit, not Firefox that it will be disguising itself as:

"The 'like Gecko' string has been part of most WebKit-browser UA strings from time immemorial, but has never been used by Firefox, which instead uses 'Gecko'".

The first versions of Safari had "like Gecko," so its WebKit heritage is long indeed. Maybe MSIE should use "sort of like Gecko" instead?
